Answer is: sucrose is more soluble in water.
Solubility of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) is about 2000 g in one liter of water (25°C) and solubility of lauric acid (C₁₂H₂₄O₂) is approximately 0,06 g approximately.
That is because sucrose has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bond), Sucrose has more oxygen, more oxygen means more intermolecular bond with hydrogen.

The pH of an aqueous solution is 4.32. What is the [OH–]?
Molodets [167]
2.10 x 10^-10 M. Ans


pH + pOH = 14
Where, pOH is the power of hydroxide ion concentration and pH is the power of concetration of the H+ ion.
Now, pOH = 14 - 4.32
= 9.68
Now, the concentration of [H+] is 10-7 M, then pH is 7 and for [OH-] = 10-7 M, the pOH is also 7.

Now, pOH = -log[OH-]
[OH-] = 10^- pOH
= 10^-9.68
= 2.10 x 10^-10 M

Suppose that a 100 mL sample of ideal gas is held in a piston-cylinder apparatus. Its volume could be increased to 200 mL by
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

e. reducing the pressure from 608 torr to 0.40 atm at constant temperature.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law when a gas is at the same temperature and there is a mass in a closed container so the pressure and the volume changes in the opposite direction

So here the equation is

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Now we choose the options

where,

V_1 =  100\ mL = 0.1\ L\\\\V_2 =  200\ mL = 0.2\ L

P_1 = 608\ torr = 0.8\ atm \\\\P_2= 0.4\ atm

Now applying these values to the above equation

So,

P1V1=P2V2

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

0.8\times0.1 = 0.4\times0.2

0.8 = 0.8

Hence, it is proved

25 g of ethyl alcohol is dissolved in 100 ml of water (density = 0.99993 at 20 oc). what is the % w/w for the ethyl alcohol in t
vitfil [10]
<span>Percentage by mass is the amount in mass of a component in a mixture per 100 unit of mass of the total mixture. Percentage by mass is the same as  %w/w. We can determine this by dividing the mass of the solute with the total mass of the mixture. However, from the problem statement, we are given the volume of the water so there is a need to convert this value to mass by using the density of water. We calculate as follows:

Mass of solution = 100 mL (0.99993 g/mL) water + 25 g EtOH
Mass of solution = 124.993 g solution

%w/w = 25 g / 124.993 g x100
%w/w = 20% of EtOH</span>

Imagine if during the cathode ray experiment, the size of the particles of the ray was the same as the size of the atom forming
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

This would support Dalton's postulates that proposed the atoms are indivisible because no small particles are involved.

Explanation:

Experiment using the gas discharge tube by J.J Thomson led to the discovery of cathode rays which are now known as electrons.

Primarily, Thomson's experiment led to the discovery of cathode rays, electrons, as subatomic particles.

If the size of the atoms observed at the cathode is the same as that of the rays,we can conclude that the particles of the rays are the simplest form of matter we can have. This would suggest that the atom is indeed the smallest indivisible particle of a matter according to Dalton.
